Bio-diverse / Brown Roofs

November 4 2014

Bio-diverse or Brown roof systems are specifically designed for biodiversity by offering a broad range of annual and perennial wildflower and grass species, and providing a mosaic of habitat opportunities for important invertebrate and bird species. In particular these roofs are created for species important to the site or regional bio-diversity plan; and incorporate several different substrate types placed a different depths to produce undulations (or a contoured effect). Log, stone and sand piles are added for further interest and give areas of shading on a micro level.
